Geroge Strait “Cowboys and Dreamers”

Happy Friday!

What makes Friday EVEN better?

New George Strait!

The KING of Country Music released his 28th Studio album called “Cowboys and Dreamers” and of course, it’s pure Country Gold.

First off the title track- “Cowboys and Dreamers” is perfect:

 

BUT there’s also a collab with Chris Stapleton on there called “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”, and really… you can’t go wrong when you combine those two:


“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” reminds me of the early 80’s Country- just fun and rowdy- and again, add Chris Stapleton to the legend that is George Strait, and again- pure Country perfection!

I’m just happy it’s still a thing.

Ella Langley Feat. Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” Video

Ella Langley is one of the ones to watch in Country Music, and this music video for her song with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” will just solidify her in the industry.

First of all, I love the song- it’s pure Classic Country- and the video is perfect:


Does anyone alse think Riley Green needs to be a character on “Yellowstone”, or at least on a spinoff?

He’s totally giving off Spencer Dutton vibes.

“You Look Like You Love Me” is easily one of my favorite Country songs of the year so far, and I have a strong feeling you’ll hear a lot more from Ella Langley in the future.

Anyone else super happy that the Classic Country sound is making a comeback?

It’s a beautiful thing.

Post Malone Feat. Luke Combs “Missin’ You Like This”

Yesterday, Post Malone released his highly anticipated “F-1 Trillion” album, and as expected, it’s pretty damn fantastic.

Even if you’re not a fan of Post Malone infiltrating the Country Music scene, I don’t really think you could find fault in the music that he’s put out.  It’s solid stuff, and has some of the greatest in Country Music on the album with him. Oh, and then he also dropped the “F-1 Trillion: Long Bed” edition yesterday as well- a surprise 9 song album full of original Country songs of just Post Malone himself. And yes, they’re impressive, too.

I’ve been listening to “F-1 Trillion” these past 24 hours, and here’s my favorite- his collab with Luke Combs “Missin’ You Like This”:

 

Now, that’s some Country right there. Bonus points for the shout out to Kansas- one of the best states in the nation- and an Exxon station break-up.

Also, Post Malone sounds great on the track, as does Luke Combs (as always), and it’s been in my head for the past day.

Another couple of my favorites on the album include Post Malone’s Dolly Parton collab “Have the Heart” and his collab with Chris Stapleton “California Sober”:

 

 


I absolutely love the variety of the artists and sounds on this album, and like it or not, Post Malone just proved himself in Nashville.

Don’t hate it. Embrace it.

 

 

Post Malone at The Opry!

\

Last night, Post Malone made his Grand Ole Opry Debut last night, and it went pretty dang well.

Like, standing ovation well.

Not a bad way to get people ready for his Country album “F-1 Trillion” which comes out tomorrow.

Here’s just a few of last night’s performances:

Dammnnn…

Posty killed it.

If this doesn’t get you ready for his new album, I’m sorry about your life.

Seriously, I hink Post Malone is more talented than many have given him credit for, and clearly, he has all of Nashville’s support, so I’m for it.

And for the naysayers, look, having an artist like Post Malone on the Country scene will only bring more people to discover the Country genre.

That’s not a bad thing.

Lainey Wilson Teases Title Track off Her New Album “Whirlwind”

Just a week and some change away from Lainey Wilson’s new album “Whirlwind”!

And, like most artists do these days, she’s teasing songs off of it on social media, like the title track, which sounds like it’s gonna be a banger:

I love the vibe of this song, and the strains of the 90’s Country sound in it.

Thank you, Baby Jesus, for Lainey Wilson.

“Whirlwind” drops next Friday, and you can get more info at http://LaineyWilson.com

Morgan Wallen Teases New Song!

Happy Friday!

Morgan Wallen- in case you missed it- has gifted us with another teaser… this time for a song called “Good to See You Smile”, and I’m thinking it could be one of his best yet:

Damn. I can’t wait for the full version to drop.

No word on when that’s going to happen, but typically, when an artist teases something, that means something is going to be happening soon.

I really like Morgan’s deeper, slower tunes, as opposed to the catchy hits like last year’s smash “Last Night”.

Seriously, say what you will about Morgan- you can’t deny the guys talent.

He’s also killing it on his stadium tour right now- dates and info at http://Morganwallen.com

Lainey Wilson Feat. Miranda Lambert “Good Horses”

Ahhhh!

I have been waiting for this since Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert performed it in Vegas back in December.

Earlier this morning, Lainey and Miranda dropped a new song called “Good Horses”, and it’s everything I had hoped for.

I mean, really, how can you go wrong with these two?


PERFECTIIOn.

“Good Horses” was written by Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert alongside songwriter Luke Dick.

Everything about it, I love. The lyrics, which as a horse woman and a woman who has been hapily married for seventeen years to a man who has never tried to fence me in, speak to me on so many levels. And yes, a good horse will always come home. It knows where the hay is. Being a military wife, and someone who always likes to do my own thing and have my own life as well, this song is both me and my husband. We will always make our way back home to each other, no matter what. No need to keep each other in a round pen.

Kudos to Lainey and Miranda, not for just a beautifully written song that is nothing like what is on Country radio just now, but also for the gorgeous vocals.

“Good Horses” will be on Lainey’s upcoming album “Whirlwind” which will be out August 23rd.

Miranda Lambert “Alimony”

Miranda Lambert recently released another new song off of her upcoming album “Postcards From Texas”, and it’s classic Miranda Awesomeness!

Check out “Alimony”:

Now, THAT is some classic Miranda. Fun, Feisty, and with perfect Country vocals.

Oh, and she just released the acoustic version today:


All these tunes Miranda has been dropping has me all kinds of ready for her new album on her new label Republic Records called “Postcards From Texas”, which comes out September 13th.

Oh, and Friday?

She will release her long-awaited duet with Lainey Wilson “Good Horses”.

I. Can’t. Wait.

 

Carrie Underwood Covers the Heck Out of “Don’t Stop Believin'”

Carrie Underwood brought down the house over the weekend in Honolulu! She’s getting a lot of attention for her cover of the massive Journey hit “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which is incredibly hard to pull off, because, well, Steve Perry. He’s easily one of the best vocalists to ever vocal.  Carrie and her golden pipes did one heck of a job, though! Enjoy:

Damnnnnn…

I’ll be completely honest, I don’t love all of Carrie’s music that she puts out- I firmly believe that her ealry releases were her best- but when it comes to pure vocal talent, well, it’s hard to beat those pipes.

The mark of true talent is how they perform live. Carrie effortlessly knocks out those high notes without any trouble at ALL.

I used to sing in an 80’s Cover Band, and had the blind ambition to sing “Don’t Stop Believin'”.

It was maybe OK at best. My talent level is just a tiny portion of what Carrie’s is. Which is why she does what she does, and why I talk about it.

BUT… I can do splits while singing “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and not miss a beat.

Carrie, can you do that?

@meganontheradio #tbt to when I was in a band and I got to sing at bars and act like a middle-aged Coyote Ugly chick. Good times. #rock #defleppard #dance #splits ♬ original sound – Megan Vaughan

I’m such a class act.

Anyhow, for some more REAL talent, how about the OG “Don’t Stop Believing”?

There is a reason that it is the “Most Popular Song in History” according to Forbes:

Post Malone “Yours”

I can’t love this song enough.

Post Malone is gearing up for the release of his upcoming Country album “F-1 Trillion” and did a live show in Nashville earlier this week at Marathon Music Works. He debuted several new songs, including “Yours”, which he wrote about his 2-year-old daughter getting married one day, and how he will feel if that happens.

As a mother, this basically slays my heart:

Oh, my heart!

You will be hearing this at ALL the weddings for the next couple of decades.

Seriously, I am so impressed with Post Malone and how he’s moving into Country music.

I absolutely cannot wait for his album “F-1 Trillion”, which drops August 16th. He will, of course, have a tour to follow, and you can get those dates at http://Postmalone.com
